 * I’ve been getting a lot of spam email on one of the sites I manage — even with
   Google’s reCaptcha activated. This started about 2 weeks ago. I see that there
   are a few people here that have had the same problem. A fix would be greatly 
   appreciated!

 * Just for our knowledge, how much volume are you receiving? 50+ ? 15-20? small
   handful?

   Feel free to read the whole thread for some potential back info as well regarding
   what’s being tried in this hotfix version.

 * Hey [@leeseoftbc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leeseoftbc/),
 * We hope all is going better for you on the spam front and well overall. Has there
   been any changes here? or did the hotfix version of the plugin that Michael linked
   to help out?

 * Sorry for the delay in replying. I would get anywhere from 1 to 12 spam emails
   per day. All either have some alphanumeric characters for the first and last 
   or they have a “real name” with some spammy email address.
 * I’ll try the hotfix for a week and let you know if it works.

 * Released version 1.3.2 with some extra timer-based spam prevention. Hopefully
   this takes out a lot of lingering spam getting through.
